Hi list, I sent this to the ILColes list and thought you might also be interested. My name is Kim Griffiths and I'm writing from Redmond, OR. I have ancestors from Coles County, but mostly Shelby County. I was reading my paper here this evening and came across this obituary. Not only was then maiden name very familiar to me, but she was born in Mattoon. Right away I thought one of you might be interested, I may even be interested and not know it yet. If you could help me tie her to Berry Tully Webb of Shelby County, then she would be related to me as well. Thank you, Kim The Bulletin, Bend, Oregon, Friday April 20, 2001 Helen Irene (Webb) Emeneger Dec. 17, 1914 - Apr 17, 2001 Helen Irene (Webb) Emeneger of LaPine Oregon died Tuesday April 17, 2001 of natural causes.
